How many more Guitar Hero games can be produced without changing any of the gameplay? And who cares about Van Halen?
Although the old and safe gameplay remains the same, the best content for this game can be found in the few hits Van Halen had and some additional songs by bands like Weezer or The Offspring. This is a game only for the die-hard guitar hero fan in dire need of new songs and Van Halen fans. All others... leave this in the shops or buy only when at discount price.
